Looked up the VIN
Here are the specs

@Carsonagenic We do no have anything on file for this VIN. However it does fall in line with two other cars that went to DSO B6. Both are C-Code Auto cars. It is hard to see in the picture but is this a Auto or Standard Transmission car?

Also, Do you plan on ordering a Marti Report? If not we can purchase a standard to verify GT/CS status.

 

[Carsonagenic]

At this point, I was not planning to move forward with a Marti Report.
It actually looked like a standard shifter to me. to bad the pic doesn't show it better

I am with Neil, $10k is the upper limit as it sits. Assume the worst and hope for the best.

Doesn't look like this will ever sell. The guy supposedly has zero interest in selling it or fixing it.

Ugh, way too much rust. I agree with the others that it's worth around $10K, but only if you do your own rust repairs for the next three years.
It's a great find, though, and thanks for bringing it to us. I'll order a Marti report and we'll add the car to the registry.

Yeah, that one would cost a ton of money to restore. If the GT/CS bug has bitten you, find a better one.

It hasn't.
I just thought it might be an opportunity finding a CS in an small old Alberta town.
Nice to hear from a fellow Canuck
